Careful Otis, or I'll let my dog have a lick of the humbugs first! (I don't have a dog, so it's an idle threat!!)
Still my country, so it still remains England first for me. A World Cup win would be the greatest moment ever I would say.
Same for me. Would love to see England win something but if it was a choice between them and city there's only one winner.If somebody said to me city to win league 1 this year or England to win the next World Cup... I'd choose City 100/100 times and I love my country... Just not as much as I love ccfc
Probably haven’t got many commitments then or a young family etc?Nope. Can't wait for the upcoming trips to Czechia, Bulgaria and Kosovo.
I'm with you Otis. Would be massive. For me I think its because the rest have my family have no interest in CCFC, or football for that matter. When the major tournaments come round though, they're as passionate as I am about England.Still my country, so it still remains England first for me.

Plenty of players that have played for cov that have over inflated egosCouldn’t give a stuff about international football really. Been to a few in the past but as has been said it’s the “primar donnas” on show. Who cares about that/them now and their over inflated egos?
Yep and I’ve had the misfortune to meet/deal with some of them.Plenty of players that have played for cov that have over inflated egos

Not if he’s blindIn the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
Well, that's it, we are more United as a country and when England have big games all the neighbours engage in conversation with me and get excited and England flags start going up in the windows. It becomes a universal talking point.I'm with you Otis. Would be massive. For me I think its because the rest have my family have no interest in CCFC, or football for that matter.

I’m CFC all the way over England.
Plus I’d rather win the fa cup than the premier league
Aye, care free them lot!Bloody Chelski fans!
Although I was only 9 I seem to remember the city coming to a standstill when we won the cup...it seemed to dominate everything weeks before and for months after, no?Well, that's it, we are more United as a country and when England have big games all the neighbours engage in conversation with me and get excited and England flags start going up in the windows.

Unfortunately, in Cov, as with cities up and down the country, this city is filled with fans of other teams, so Liverpool, Man U, Man City, Arsenal and Spurs supporters etc.
Yes, I agree. The same though if England won the World Cup.Although I was only 9 I seem to remember the city coming to a standstill when we won the cup...it seemed to dominate everything weeks before and for months after, no?
Some years later an RE teacher, who was not from cov originally and was not a football fan, gave an assembly and said he thought cov was a tough city but when we won the cup the whole mood changed...people we’re smiling! Didn’t 250k people come out to see the open top bus? Cant all have been avid cov fans.
I think I’m saying that I think the city would go crazy in the loveliest way if we won the cup again...and I’d drown in my own tears!
250,000 on the streets of Coventry if England won the World Cup? Can’t see it squire.Yes, I agree. The same though if England won the World Cup.
Pretty certain we won't get 250,000 for the City anymore either. We were a top flight club back then. We have sunk since and more kids will have followed the big Premier clubs rather than City, who have struggled badly until very recently.250,000 on the streets of Coventry if England won the World Cup?

I don’t remember many kids my age being city fans back then and our attendance were pretty low...15k on a good day?Pretty certain we won't get 250,000 for the City anymore either.

Being in Brum is hardly going to help either.
It's a very short time in football. Look at 5 odd years ago and Leicester. They were same league as us and just met luck. Bolton, on the other hand, were Premier League not long ago and signing million pound players, now look at them. I think if we got promoted this season, went back to the Ricoh and did well in a cup run we would get a lot of people turn out.Pretty certain we won't get 250,000 for the City anymore either.
